Why does the heart yearn forlorn, For one who has left and gone? Why hold a vigil in the night, For love that vanished from your sight? In the pathways silent and cold, Lies loyalty, in stories untold. Unclad, the truth whispers clear, Why did love's fervor disappear? Shed the tears pressed so tight, Release them with a laugh in light. Let sorrow's stains wash away, Cry and cleanse them for a new day. Why wear grief like a chain, Around your neck, embracing pain? The spark within you still will gleam, Independent from broken dreams. A flicker of hope, a ray anew, Why have faith, when shadows grew? In your heart, a lamp once strewn, Will shine again beneath the moon.
